    Hi Jared, thanks for the videos and the explanations.
    Are you planning a video on the priorities? I haven’t “played” with the BMs yet, but I was wondering if you there could be relevant to create two versions of some materials, High priority and Low priority, in order to get nicer intersection. I can’t think of an example right now, but I’m feeling like it needs to be tested

    Cheers,
    Nicolas

        I’ve just updated our office template from 16 to 17. I started fresh but used the 16 template as a reference (attribute manager was used a lot). But for building materials I started with the INT template and added additional materials. I have some multiple types of some, concrete I have insitu, reinforced, precast. I have also changed layer intersection priorities back to 1 for all layer combo’s, the BM’s should do the rest. Considered what actual materials are actually used in the physical construction of buildings we design and made BM’s to match. Now I need to use them in the next BIM to see if I have it right.
